Alcoholism Support Group

Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

I have been sober 5 days now. My husband brought home an 18 pack last nite. I didn't touch it and I don't want to. I was just hoping that some of you will be around this weekend to talk to and message too. it really really helped the last time i had an overpowering urge to drink.

Tell him you are not comfortable with alcohol in the house, I mean if he loves he will listen.If you go to meetings get to one.

well thank you all for your support and advice. it is saturday morning.. nice warm day, i am thinking of cooking chicken enchiladas for lunch and helping my husband plant strawberries. my brother and his family is coming over. he is a heavy drinker, i am sure my hubby will drink a couple while he works outside and around the house. i fell like it would be a great day to drink a few myself. the craving is already there even though i haven't even had a shower or finished my coffee yet. I pray i will resisit because i hate the way i feel when i drink especially the next day and i do not want to be too hung over to go to church again..

If you have managed to stay sober for five days. WHY would your husband bring beer home. Does he love you and does he support your recovery.
There is a saying in recovery you hang a round slippery people and places eventually you will slip. I know for me my partner at the time kept slipping. So I kept slipping.
Then I got a grasp on the program and got rid of my partner because I new I would never stay sober with him. I had to make the choice. Drunkenness or Recovery. I chose Recovery.
